I have an IPA and a pale ale in my fermentation fridge as we speak.
Both beers have Wyeast 1056 activator @ 68F.
the IPA got a nice krausen ring but nothing explosive or ridiculous.
The pale ale has clogged the airlock twice now because the krausen was all the way up the neck of the carboy.
I used a starter for the IPA. I did not use one for the pale ale.
Anyone have any input on why the pale ale went nuts while the IPA (with starter) did not?
Thanks all.
